Woman's Capabilities.

The Author of "John Halifax. Gentleman. in
 the Forum.
 Men from that large Ego, doubtless implanted in them for useful purposes have tendency to see things solely from their own point of view. and to judge things, not as they are, but ..as the world will look at them, with reference to their individual selves Their sense of order. their power and inclination to take trouble. are rarely equal to woman'>. Her very narrow ness makes her more conscientious and reliable in matters of minute detail. A mans horizon is wider. hi, vision larger. his physical and intellectual strength generally greater than a woman's; but he is as rule less pru- dent. less careful. less able to throw himself out of himself, and into the interest of other people than q woman is. Granted capable womap, and one that has had even tithe of the practical education that all men have or are supposed to have, she will do q matter of business, say all eXecutor- ship, secretaryship, etc, as well as any man, or even better than most men, because she will take more pains. Did girls get from childhood the same business training as boys, and were it clearly understood in all fami- lies that it is not a credit but discredit for women to bc idle, to hang helpless on the men instead of doing their own work, and, if necessary. earning their own living, believe society would be not tine worse but the better for the change. Men would find out that the more they elevate women the greater use they get out of them. If, instead of man working himself to death for his unmarried daughters, and then leaving them ignominiously depend ent upon male relations, he educated them to independence, made them able both to maintain and to protect them selves, it would save him and them a world of unhappiness. They would cease to be either the riyals--a very hopeless riyalry-or the piaythiDgs first and then the slaves of men, and become, as was originally intended, their CO., mates, equal and yet different, each sex supplying the others dcfi- ciencies, and therefore fitted to work together, not apart, for the good of the world.

Our Institutions in Danger.
 Senator Ingalls,, in the Forum.


 By the close of the present century, and perhaps earlier. there will not bc all acre of the public domain upon which corn and wheat can be raised without irrigation, subject to pre- emption or homestead entry within the present limits of the United States. Real estate will increase enormously in value. Our surplus population, no longer having the fertile area of free land over which to diffuSe itself, will accumulate in cities. The rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer. The middle class will gradually disappear,as the struggle for existence becomes fierce and relentless A dim consciousness of impending peril has already penetrated the pub lie mind. and in obedience to it's ad- monitionS the Chinese have been ex- cluded with barbarous rigor. in viola tion of treaties, and notwithstanding the sonorous manifesto of 1868, that reorganization is a natural and inherent right of all people" and that any de- claration, instruction, opinion, order, or decision of any officer of the govern- ment which denies, restricts, impairs. or questions this right, is inconsistent with the principles oi this govern ment." In obedience to the same inn pulse, the acquisition of real estate by aliens has been rigidly limited by act of congress. The demand for further legislation ill the same direction is inn perative, and cannot be disregarded The sophistication of the national suffrage by the unrcstrained admis- sion to citizenship of assisted paupers, fugitive felens, and the avowed ene- mics of the social contract must cease. Our capacity for assimilation is cx- hausted. More than one million skilled and unskillcd laborers are now unemployed, or employed at wages in- adequate for the support of themselves and their families. Trade and industry are menaced by unlawful combinations that resort to the destruction of life and property to accomplish their de- signs, and the hour is approaching when the active coalition of the con servatiye forces of the country will he necessary to prevent destructive organic change, in our social and political system. The constant in fusion of fresh blood is essential to national health. but there is no blood poison SD fatal as adnlteration of larc, We are no longer homogeneous.

day Night.

The following resolutions we're unani-
mously adopted at meeting of local as
sembly 82l7, Knights of Labor, at meet
ing held Wednesday evening:
Whereas, The president of the United
States has, in obedience TO the dictates of
a railroad syndicate, ordered troops out to
evict from their homes the settlers on GER
tain lands in Dakota; and,
Whereas, We recognize the fact that
President Cleveland is only, in this matter,
carrying out consistently his policy of
friendship for the bankers and monOpo-
lists of all stripes; and,
Whereas, We deem it our duty as Knights
Of Labor to protest against this outrage
on the honest working farmers of Dakota;
and, inasmuch as We recognize the fact
that the interests of the farmer are the
interests of the mechanic and laborer;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That local assembly 3217,
Knights of Labor, enter its protest against
the action of President Cleveland in evict-
ing from their homes the poor settlers
who have established, by their sweat and
toll, right to live on the lands which the
railroad monopolists of Dakota desire to
gobble up; and therefore be it
Resolved, That we, as Knights of Labor,
sympathize with the victims of the bloated,
gouty scoundrel who sits in the presiden-
tial chair of this Union as the representa-
tive and servant of the capitalists and law
npling, bloated anarchists; and be it
iur,nei z, That it is our only sorrow
